Parallels Access Agent is a helper component (launchAgent) that runs as part of Parallels Desktop on macOS. It enables remote access to your Mac from mobile devices (iOS/Android), allowing you to control and view your desktop from anywhere. The agent handles the connection between Parallels Desktop and the mobile Parallels Access app, managing secure authentication and screen streaming. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionParallels Access was discontinued by Parallels on March 5, 2024, and all support ended on April 30, 2024 — the service no longer functions on any platform, and the agent will not be maintained or updated going forward. Since Parallels Access is no longer operational, the native build status of this component is academic; if you are still using Parallels Desktop itself, update Parallels Desktop to the latest version through Parallels' update mechanism (Help → Check for Updates inside Parallels Desktop, or through the installer from parallels.com), and the bundled Parallels Access Agent will update alongside it. However, you should be aware that Parallels Access functionality is disabled and will not work regardless of the agent's native status. If you need remote access to your Mac, consider alternative solutions such as Apple Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, or SSH tunneling through a Mac-based VNC server, all of which continue to be actively developed and supported.
